The Mi i6i on of America,
In his speech at the Omaha Field
club Theodore Roosevelt said that In
his travels through Europe he found
the subject of chief interest among all
people to be America and its mission
to the world.
The eyes of every nation are tamed
toward this one, to see whether it is
going to fall or succeed. The op
pressed of every nation are looking to
America as the hope of their relief and
wishing It success. The reactionaries
among the ruling classes hope It will
fall, for If It does not their system of
government must. And Colonel
Roosevelt declared that If America
does fail In this great universal mis
sion, then the c.use of mankind would
be retarded for many years.
Cardinal Vannutelll, the papal le
gate, while In Omaha declared Amer
ica to be the real leader of the nations,
and that as went America, so goes
much of the world. America leads.
others follow. In the leadership of
America he beholds the hope of man
kind and he expressed the fervent
hope that America would not fall.
This great thought expressed by two
great thinkers, one the representative
of the peerless republic itself, the
other from imperial Europe, ought to
be taken up by Americans everywhere
In sober earnestness. It ought to Im
press them, those in high station or
low, with the solemn rights and duties
and responsibilities of sovereign citi
zenship. It is one of the biggest
thoughts before them and before the
world today. We are prone to vaunt
our national greatness and say we
know no such thing aa failure. But
failure may know us and may come to
us whenever we cease to realize the
mission of America or falter in follow
ing out the performance of that
mission.
Today the test suggested by Colonel
Roosevelt is before this country.
There is one way to meet it, and that
is by finding out the right and doing
it. That right is not to be found in
civil strife or internal dissension; not
to be found in social dereliction or po
litical corruption; not to be found In
the system of money power in politics;
not to be found in class legislation nor
in the bigotry of religious intolerance,
Of this last there Is little danger, for
we as a people and a nation have
fought out with ourselves the question
of religious as well as civil liberty.
But there is danger to be apprehended
in some of the other aspects of the
question. We may as easily avoid
that danger, however, as we did that
of ecclesiastical intolerance.
Any citizen of America who does
not see in this great mission a per
sonal responsibility does not compre
hend Its import. It is well that Theo
dore Roosevelt, and Cardinal Vannu
telll have helped us to see the truth
and we believe with His Eminence
that America will not fail,, that It
will meet the test and give to those
oppressed of other nations In their
struggle for liberty, the powerful in
ftuence of its example for which they
look and which they need, and that it
will fulfill its part as the hope of man-
kind in working out the destiny of the
t
race and teaching oppressive rulers
that they must give up their code of
ethics and annul every statute that
does not rest upon the basic principle
of all law and American Justice "the
greatest good to the greatest number."
Vocational Training
ine traae scnooi is not a new or
untried venture. It has been tested
for a number of years abroad and has
thoroughly proven its efficiency. That
it has not yet been more generally
adopted in the United States, and made
a part of our public school system, Is
not especially to our credit. The neg
lect of thla Important branch of edu
catlonal endeavor may perhaDa be
ascribed to the happy-go-lucky habit
of Americans In choosing vocation by I
chance rather than by purpose.
The time haa come to us when we
can no longer neglect the very essen
tial work of training boys and girls
along lines that will be In the direction
of their life work. It ia not proposed to
abandon any of the fundamentals of
education for the purpose of providing
this supplementary training. The
vocational school will provide ample
instruction in the useful branches of
learning, and In addition will furnish
knowledge of applied mechanics or do
mestic science to those who most need
them, so that when the children come
to leave school and go out to become
wage earners they will already have a
start along lines that will render them
useful from the very beginning of their
active life In the world. Nor is it In
tended that thla vocational training
shall operate In any way to close the!went 'urther lno details: "But. not
way to higher education. The boy or
girl who is ambitious to achieve the
heights of learning may still do so
through the medium of the public
school
The question to be determined Is
when the vocational training shall be-
: gln- Experience haa proven that a
Iarge Percentage of the children at-
tending public schools do not advance
beyond the seventh or eighth grades.
This would seem to indicate that here
out of school after they have finished
the grammar grades get no benefit
whatever from the manual training
provided in the high school, and they
re rt-auy ine ones it Is desired to
reach by vocational training. Bo the
system, if it is to be adopted, should
be so adjusted that it will come la with
the instruction that ia now afforded
the last two years of the grade schools
and before the high school period
begins.
It is also essential that this voca
tional training be afforded in connec
tion with the public school system and
not as a private charge. Under pri
vate control the pupil is open to the
Injustice of private exploitation, and
our educational system should be so
arranged aa to furnish the greatest
possible liberty of choice to the Indi
vidual along with the most thorough
training in the fundamentals of both
mental and manual usefulness.
We Are Getting Healthier.
Official reports that the death rate
in the United States for the last year
was the lowest in the history of the
country must prove the results of this
vast campaign against, disease that ia
being waged by city, state and nation,
systematically and with scientific di
rection. It Is the, fruit of the anti
tuberculosis warfare, the pure food
laws, the general legislation for im
proving sanitary conditions and laws
conserving the health of factory em
ployes, affording them shorter hours
and better conditions of labor. It Is
most gratifying to be able to note such
splendid tangible evidence that we, as
a people, are on the right track; that
we are not blindly pursuing an empty
trail.
And the federal government has
only begun to take up this work. The
president has urged upon congress the
importance of establishing a depart
ment of healtn, and in all probability
It will follow out his recommendations
very soon. This department will
oversee and direct all the organized
agencies for Improving health and will
add tremendously to the effective in
fluence of all of them.
Certainly this is practical work for
a government to do, practical for a
city or a state to do. It is a work of
conservation in which all men may en
gage with equal Interest. It Is a benefi
cent government that undertakes
such a. work upon bo elaborate and
scientific a scale. It beats all the
quack nostrums of .political and social
reform that ambitious Individuals may
advocate. Improving the man's
physical condition is only another way
of helping him to Improve his social
and political condition. Vice is not
necessarily Indigenous to a delicate
body, but the cheerfulness of a well-
ordered physique has its moral effect.
Old and New Church Muiic.
At last one of the great evangelical
churches has discarded the old mis
sionary hymn, "From Greenland's Icy
Mountains," from its latest hymnal.
Yet paradoxical as this may seem, It
yet Is scarcely more radical than the
embargo long ago levied upon other
old hymns of similar fitness and In
spiring power. Gradually the
church ia supplanting the old
time hymns with new songs and
a atyle of music that is called
classic anthems, sung ry paid sing
ers. But who that has felt the in
spiration of "From Greenland's Icy
Mountains to India's Coral Strand"
will deny that Its words and its music
are not typically missionary and most
suited for use in this age of aggressive
missionary enterprise? Instead of dis
carding this old slogan of religious
propaganda It would seem that the
church would be devising ways of in
creasing Its popularity, for what bet
ter expresses, or could better express,
the spirit of the missionary zeal that
bas today crystallized into the "for
ward movement" than this old hymn?
There has always been a question as
to the superiority of latter-day church
music over that of the yesterdays. For
deep piety and soul-stirring expression
It is seriously to be doubted if the new
can half compare with the old. There
was a depth of meaning In those old
songs, which some of the newer ones
do not possess, and as to the popular
solo of today, while it may afford
facility for the display of vocal gym
nastics and facial contortions, In too
many cases.it falls, to make much im
pression oq the congregation. Words
ar swallowed in sound and the spirit
of the piece sacrificed to the ambition
of the singer. It will not be long until
the Doxology will be as strange in all
churches aa it Is in some if the present
tendency keeps up.
The Ego and the Garment
"As costly thy habit as thy purse
can buy," said sage Polonlus In bidding
farewell to budding Laertes, who was
about to set forth on a Joarney from
Elsloore to Parla, even then the gay
capital of the world's frivolities. Then
Polonlus, garrulous old greybeard,
j expressed in fancy. Kicn, not sauuy."'
he continued, "for the apparel oft pro
claims the man." And. as In Shakea
peare'a day, so even now, "fine feath
ers do not make fine birds," while the
apparel oft proclaims the individual.
But now cornea a Chicago man with
the proclamation . that the garment
should be cut to fit the individuality of
its wearer. The clothes of the future
are to en press character. Instead of
my lady being hobbled because some
quidnunc In a dressmaking establish
ment haa declared this to be the fash-
Ion, she will determine what particu
lar cast her ego most affects, and her
gown anal! be cut to suit. Thus we
are to have a reform In feminine tog

selves expressively, so that "he who

serving of passereby will know her
nature by a fleeting glance at "lovely

oughfare upon some mission bent.
Whether this is going to be ex
tendej to mere man may give us pause.

thought of what might happen were

It may be that this Chicago re

Whitlockism Expoied.
The Interior of Chicago, a militant
church organ, Is one of the great
moral agencies that Is not deceived by
that school of sentimental city admin
istrators represented by the late
"Golden Rule" Jones and the present
Mayor Brand Whltlock of Toledo. In
an editorial It clearly exposes the
whole sham of this "holier-than-thou"
propaganda, which has been so emi
nently successful In concealing from a
credulous people Its real mission
self-aggrandizement.
The Interior points out that between
1890 and 1900 Toledo gained In popu
lation 61 per cent, while between
1900 and 1910 it gained only 28 per
cent, being surpassed by Columbus aa
the third city in the state. It was this
last decade during which Jones and
Whltlock have served aa mayors. As
the interior puts it, "The latter period
Is the period of the ascendency of sen
timental mayors too weak to deal
squarely with vice and law-breaking."
Do results count?
"Quite a few of the good citizens of
Toledo have been accustomed to boast
that their town has attained ideal
municipal government under the sway
of its famous mayors," says ' the In
terior. "The Whltlock and Jones no
tion Is to be sweet toward everybody
and not be harsh about anything a
rule which neither mayor ever violated
except to denounce two classes
preachers and rich men. Of course,
this artificial complexion of felicity
has appealed vastly to sentimentalists
for sentimental reasons, and to the
people who make their living by crime
and vice for reasons not sentimental."
Then the Interior adda that some of
the clean people are now about to
awake from the dream into which
Jones and Whltlock lulled them and
wonder If, after all, Toledo, with Its
wide-open vicious policy of Whitlock
ism and Its heavy falling off in gain of
population are really the- evidencea
and the attributes of the "best gov
erned city in the world."
This certainly, is an effective exposi
tion of the sham these political fakers
have been practicing on the people,
and for what? Do not the people see
that It is for nothing except the selfish
interests of the self-styled "reform
ers?" This thing haa become epi
demic In this country, and often men
or newspapers that refuse to be
swayed by every such gust of senti-
mentallsm are denounced by some up
start, with not enough business of his
own to keep him from meddling with
that of other people. But what Is to
be said of the leading organ of one of
the leading church denominations of
the country when It comes out with
such a complete denunciation of Jones
lam and Whitlockism, which in other
cities and other states might go by a
dozen different names?
If the people did not want to be de
ceived by these charlatans they would
not be. After the Reno prize fight
Whltlock came out in one of his syn
dicate articles with a denunciation of
the anti-fight sentiment as a "recrudes
cence of Anglo-Saxon morality," say
ing that "meanwhile in the tenements
and slums half the children die before
the age of 6 years. Furthermore, last
year, by the Industrial machines of
the country, half a million men were
killed or maimed."
And his followers shouted his
praises. "Great man, that." But did
they atop to Inquire what he, as the
mayor of a great city, waa doing to
check or overcome these evil condi
tions? - There is the trouble. People
are too easily swept off their feet by
some vagrant wave of sentimental elo
quence that happens to strike their
idle fancy without touching their
minds. Perhaps ne mayor in the
United States has done less to correct
these evil conditions, or this highly
esteemed church paper would not dare
to declare that Whltlock Is "too weak
to deal squarely with vice and law
breaking." When will the people
i learn ?
One of the chief obstacles to real
reform and genuine civic virtue la the
fake reformer and his sham policies.
When the prison authorities found
money in the possession of C. W.
Morse they placed him on a milk and
bread diet. Outside the prisons the
order is Just the reverse. When a
man finds himself possessed of money
he gets off the milk and bread diet and
goea to eating roast beef.
Some reference waa made In theae
columns recently to an Invitation that
Galveston had sent forth to all the
world to repair thither and make note
of the triumphs that had been achieved
under the Galveaton plan of city gov
ernment. And now comes the United
States census and shows that Qalras-
ton has decreased In population during
that period. It Is barely possible that
this loos In population la not due to
the workings of the commission form
of government, but, at any rate, It is
not likely to be held out as an Induce
ment to other cities to come Into the
Galveston plan.
Discontent la a righteous thing
when It denotes a restless ambition
for moral and material betterment, but
an unrighteous thing when it simply
means chronic complaint with condi
tions as they are and sordid ambition
for selfish rain. ,

Booat for Political Moral.

material which they scatter broadcast

fusal to use the department malllitg franft

Dry Brit.
I. T. Martin In Leslie's Weekly.
Few people, away from Kansas, are
familiar with a side of th prohibition
queation in that state which accounts for
th "seal" of many a belled "reformer."
That Is th system of fees In connection
with the operation of tha law. The Kansas
prohibitory law provides no salary for an
assistant attorney general, permitting him
to live off free quarter and pillage from
whatever funds he may compel men to pay
him. The office of assistant attorney gen
eral 1a perhaps the most sought after of
fice within the gift ot the state, Wyan
dotte county, for Instance, harlng two as
sistant attorneys general, devoting their
entire time to the prohibitory law. It Is a
matter of record In at least on county
that no man charged with unlawfully sell
ing liquor has ver served out a complete
Jail sentence, If he had the Toney not to
pay th fin, but to pay the attorney fee
awarded to the assistant attorney general,
the records of that particular county show
ing that more than 820,000 had been col
lected In such fees within a period of two
years.

Mass., November T to 1. Leonard B. Clor
of Indiana I general manager.
Th newspaper men who watched Arch
bishop Ireland "taking notes" and his sub
sequent translation of tli addre.-s In French
of Cardinal Vannutelll at the Omaha ban
quet could not repress professional sighs
of regret for the fame he would hav won
as a "long-hand" reporter.
Baron Han Von Klelehreder, a young
German of distinguished family, after sv
eral months stay In New York and
vicinity, dropped this bouquet before sail
ing for home: "I think the American girl
adorable. She possesaea thos charms that
are at once the hallmarks of good brcedlnu
and man's ultimata destruction." Had th
baron moved a few hundred mile Into the
Interior and met the real American girl his
destruction would lead to a padded cell.
"JP"
Rudyard Kipling In American Magazine.
"If you can keep your head when all about
you
jAre losing theirs and blaming It on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men
doubt you.
But make allowances for their doubting,
too;
If you can wait and not b tired by waiting.
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated don't give away to hating,
And yet don't look loo good, nor talk
too wise;
"If you can dream and not make dreams
your master:
If you can think and not make thoughts
your aim,
If you can meet with triumph and disaster
And treat those two impostors just the
same.
If you can bear to hear the truth you've
ppoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for
fools.
Or watoh the things you gave your life to,
broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn
out tools;
"If you can make on heap of all your
winnings
And risk it on on turn of pitch-and-toss,
And loae, and start again at your bs-
glnnlngs
And never breath a word about your
loss;
If you wit fore your heart and nerve
anil sinew
To serve your, turn long after they ar
gone.
And so hold on when there Is nothing in
you
Except the Will which says to them:
Hold on"
"If you can talk with crowds and keep
your virtue.
Or walk with kings nor lose th com
mon touch, ,
If neither toes nor loving friends can hurt
you,
If all men count with you, but none too
much; '
If you can fill th unforgiving minute
With alxty seconds' worth of distance
run.
Yours is the earth and everything that's
in it,
And which is more you'll be a man,
my eon!"
